248 Limbs in Human Body Parallel the 248 Positive Commandments

Each limb announces, "Observe a commandment with me, so that I will live long."pg 115 The Torah Anthology / Yalukt ME'AM LO'EZ

THE 248 LIMBS

30 bones in the sole of the foot, six in each toe = 60 ; total 6010 in each ankle = 20 ; total 802 in the lower part of the each leg = 4 ; total 845 in each knee = 10 ; total 941 in each thigh = 2 ; total 966 in the hips ; total 10211 pair of ribs = 22 ; total 12430 in each hand, six in each finger = 60 ; total 1842 in each forearm = 4 ; total 1882 in each elbow = 4 ; total 1921 in each upper arm = 2 ; total 1944 in each shoulder = 8 ; total 20218 vertebra in the spine ; total 2209 bones in the head ; total 2298 in the neck ; total 2376 in the chest ; total 2435 at the orfices ; total 248

There are also 365 prohibitions in the Torah, paralleling the 365 days of the solar year. Each day, from sunrise to sunset, a heavenly voice announces to man, "Take it upon yourself not to sin on this day, so as not to tilt the world to the side of liability. The world is in a state of equilibrium between good and evil. Even a minor sin can upset this equilibrium toward the side of evil and cause great damage.

Emunah and Bitachon with Rabbi Lazer Brody

Ordained Methodist Preacher - Now a Jew

My background is that of a religious Christian. While in Hamburg, I was ordained a pastor in the Methodist Church (Aug.,1975). For three & a half years during my doctoral studies, I was employed as a minister of an English speaking Protestant congregation (June,1976 to Dec.,1979). During this time, I met my German wife (Jan.,1978), whose father and grandfather were very pious Lutheran pastors. Several months after our marriage, my wife and I began to investigate Judaism (Nov. 5, 1978). It took about a year and a half for both of us to reach the conclusion that Torah Judaism fulfilled all the intellectual, academic, spiritual and emotional truths for which we had been searching (Feb.,1980). After withdrawing ourselves from the church and leaving the ministry, both my wife and I began our conversion process which took three & a half years and finally culminated with us traveling to Frankfurt-am-Main and converting to orthodox Judaism (May, 1983).

African American Minister - Now a Jew

I served as a Christian minister in the African American community both in Chicago and Los Angeles for 14 years. I left that world in 1996 to fulfill my spiritual yearnings and to become a Jew. After visiting Israel 14 times in five years, I presented myself before the Jerusalem Beis Din-rabbinical court- as a candidate for conversion to Judaism. My halachic conversion process took two years. I identify with the Chareidi-traditional Orthodox-community and have lived my life daily according to the mitzvos of the Torah since 1996. I presently reside in Bayit Vegan, Jerusalem and pray at the Gra shul every Shabbath and festivals.

A Pastor's Story of Conversion

VIDEO MORRISTOWN, NJ — This June, it will be 10 years since Yaakov Parisi, 60, was born. Before that, Yaakov, the Hassidic Jew, the citizen of two countries, didn't exist. In his place was a Christian pastor leading a life different in many ways from that Parisi knows now. In June of 1998 is when Parisi finished his religious conversion before a Jewish court in Denver. He moved to Israel, worked as an engineer and put his past — preaching fringe religious beliefs in the Bible Belt — behind him. A few months ago, Parisi met with the rabbi who oversaw his rigorous year-and-a-half conversion in Denver, and the rabbi said it was time to tell his story

2 Great Quotables

Zechariah 8:23 G-d states this through the prophet:

"This is what the LORD Almighty says: "In those days ten men from all languages and nations will take firm hold of a Jew by the hem of his robe and say, ‘Let us go with you, because we have heard that God is with you.’"

Does this mean that a Jew will take the skirt of a nonjew be it a christian, muslim, messianic christian, buddist, etc to follow their faith/religion? I think not.

Jeremiah 16:19

O LORD, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of affliction, the Gentiles shall come unto thee from the ends of the earth, and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is no profit.
